Last Step: Session Terms & Conditions

After you have discussed details with us regarding your upcoming session, including the date, please read and fill out your information below to officially book your session.


Session Terms & Conditions

Inclement Weather Policy: Weather is at times unpredictable in Alaska, we can get a little bit of everything in the same day. The rain and the long winters are what make our beautiful summers so amazing and long anticipated! In the decade that I have been doing photography, cancellations due to weather hardly ever happen; I can think of just a few times out of the hundreds of sessions I have done. The cancellations have typically happened due to a torrential downpour because this type of rain (as opposed to snow or mist/rain) actually gets you wet, and this type of weather can also damage my equipment. We love shooting in the snow and rain, some client even wait to schedule their session for day that it is snowing! Choosing great photo ready and season appropriate outfits helps; think layers, even in the summer. If the session has started and the weather becomes unbearable, I am happy to wait it out with you. Ultimately, the final call on cancellation is up to you. I will stay touch with you when weather might be an issue.  

Cancelation Policy: When you schedule a session with us, we are turning away other work, and we set aside time in our schedule specifically for you. As a result, we must charge a fee when you choose to cancel or do not show up to your scheduled session.
